..and yes, the Piston 2 is outstanding. Not a flagship killer, but outstanding. 

I agree. Someone asked me if they were better than the GR07. I said no way. Better than the M200?? Close but still no cigar. Better than the Monster Miles Davis Trumpet? Close but no cigar. Better than the GR07? Again...close but...it's not a flagship killer, but it is a hi-fi heavyweight.

If I had to compare the Xiaomi Piston 2.0 with a Vsonic, it would be the GR07BE (I only have this and all the VSD1/S/LE). It is a funner version to the more analytic GR07BE. Piston has less treble than GR07BE but has more punch/slam in the sub-bass. Mids are nice and clear on both. I think the stiffer beryllium alloy driver of the Piston 2.0 can be compared to the bio-cellulose driver of the GR07BE. The Pistons are a great buy at ~$20 with sound quality similar to an IEM at $130.

I'm still waiting for my DUNU DN-1000, and when they arrive, I highly doubt the Piston will usurp them in sound quality, though if you listen to mochill, they do.

Impressive indeed.

Well, one thing for sure is that they seem like an incredible iem for the price.... assuming of course that you all aren't crazy! :)

that they are. they truly are a heavyweight IEM for a very small price. a much better value that the Sony MH1C ever was.

Yeah, but the mh1c cable gave me so much joy which was priceless :)

I wouldn't regret it, but there's not much point for me unless they best what I've got methinks.
